Bio

Dennis has spent his career taking on employers and insurance carriers in courts all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court, and has secured judgments in the multiple millions of dollars for his clients. As a U.S. Army veteran and child of working class parents, he’s not afraid to fight for justice for each and every client, and knows the value of honor and hard work.

Some of Dennis’ recent settlements include:

• $20,000,000.00 settlement for an inhalation victim.
• $2,000,000.00 settlement for longshoreman injured in fall on vessel in the Port of Houston.
• $2,500,000.00 settlement for longshoreman injured from a fall into a barge.
• $2,000,000.00 settlement for longshoreman struck by a mooring line.
• $550,000.00 settlement for a non-operated back injury from a collision.
• Multiple lifetime compensation awards for longshoremen and Defense Base Act clients.

Some of Dennis’ notable decisions include:

• Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals decision establishing jury trial rights in Longshore claims against vessels.
• Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals decision establishing the entire chemical plant along the Houston Ship Channel a maritime situs for injury claims (U.S. Supreme Court affirmed).
• Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals decision declaring container royalty payments to longshoremen as wages for compensation purposes.

While some attorneys try to avoid trial at any cost, Dennis L. Brown is not afraid to take a case to trial if the insurance company is not offering adequate money to fully compensate you — his client. He understands how injuries impact both the individual and their family, so he ensures all of his clients and families are treated with respect and given careful attention.

In his spare time, he loves to be active and likes to ski, sail, run, travel, and spend time outdoors with his family.
